A delicate serif with extremely thin strokes and a vertical, high-waisted silhouette. Serifs are small and sharply tapered, with fine terminals and a clean, uncluttered construction that keeps counters open despite the light weight. Proportions are notably narrow and tall, with compact letter widths, long ascenders/descenders, and a consistent, disciplined rhythm across upper- and lowercase. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay crisp, giving the design a polished, precise look in both the alphabet grid and text sample.
Best suited to large-size settings where its fine details can remain intact—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, boutique branding, book or album titling, and elegant invitations. It can work for short passages or pull quotes in high-quality print or high-resolution screens, but benefits from generous sizing and careful contrast management.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a quiet, airy sophistication. Its hairline presence reads modern and editorial, suggesting luxury branding and cultured, gallery-like restraint rather than warmth or rustic texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice through extreme lightness, narrow proportions, and crisp, tapered finishing. Its emphasis on verticality and refined detail points to display-forward use where elegance and sophistication are the primary goals.
In text, the thin hairlines and tight proportions create a graceful vertical cadence and plenty of white space, which feels premium but also makes the design sensitive to small sizes and low-contrast reproduction. Numerals follow the same slender, refined approach, with simple, elegant forms that match the type’s restrained character.
